OTA LEADERSHIP
In 2017, OTA will continue to emphasize
and explore non-dues revenue. This year
we put together the Northwest Fleet Safety
Certification Program and continue to
look for sources to support the Association
beyond dues.
As always, I will end my column with a plea
to support our Truck PAC. With a long
legislative session in 2017, it is vital for our
association to support those who advocate
on behalf of our industry. The general OTA
budget does not allow us to fully fund these
activities that are essential to OTA’s mission
and to the livelihood of carriers, drivers and
all the employees involved in Oregon’s
trucking industry. You can find more
information about supporting the Truck
PAC on the OTA website. For those in the
position to offer sustainable support,
consider becoming part of the Truck PAC
Leadership Circle. Again, you’ll find more
details online or feel free to contact us
directly for more details on how you can get
involved and make a difference.
